Operating word, "you". Sonna is from Australia, yet "he" didn't cut and run. That would be like Hamp dissing you for something Hillary or Obama does. You have more moral clarity than this---or you did. :(

I would think you would be applauding Australia for pulling out. After all that is the policy you want here at home. Would the USA be chickenshits if we pulled out?

Yep. If the mission isn't completed.

The Australian people (the same ones that gave up their right to keep and bear arms) voted in a Left Wing cut and run government. The government did exactly what the people wanted.

There are still Coalition troops dying in Iraq and the Australians were too chickenshit to stick it out.

Not very reliable allies if you ask me.

The Australian troops will do as good a job as any Coalition member but the government decided to cut and run. They left a few support troops behind but they won't be in harm's way.

If you remember what I said when I endorsed Ron Paul was that I differed from him in thinking we needed to complete the mission in Iraq before extracting ourselves from Middle East interventionism. If we don’t complete the mission we will be withdrawing from a position of weakness instead of strength.

I will take posting a thread about the truth of the unreliability of our so called allies over your love any day, Hon.

Gator...our country had the misfortune of 12 years of chickenshit presidential leadership in my memory alone. That doesn't discount the bravery of the men that served, or those that supported those that served during that time period. That's the problem with democracy...sometimes it gets the wrong answer during the right process.
